These are the ingredients to my latest concoction...can anyone guess what I would be using this for.

Let me give you a few hints:

>It wasn't our supper>It supposedly works as an odor eliminator>It only partially works>It takes the place of the supposed antidote, tomato juice

If you haven't guessed by now, I will tell you just what it is for...Our lovely dog, Jack, who has a tendency to get everything that a dog could get, from parvo to fleas... got sprayed by a skunk two nights ago.We have given him several baths and now he only smells sort of like skunk.Thankfully he is an outside dog so the breeze can sweep all the nasty smell away...eventually!

From Branson to Lawrenceville we go...but there are a few stops on the way.We went, for the first time, to the Branson airport. What a nice place! It is so small and very laidback. (very unlike Atlanta).While we were waiting for our flight we took a pitstop at Famous Dave's BBQ. Yummy!This gave us fuel for our grueling 1 1/2 hour flight.Pity it took so long, eh?

YAY!! Eric and I leave for Georgia today...in 4 1/2 hours to be exact.This is kind of a spur of the moment trip. A few weeks ago I was talking to Eric's sister J, on the the phone. She is a cheerleader...I was a cheerleader all through high school, so cheerleading really excites me. I Love It! Anything cheerleading. I was actually thinking of hanging up pompoms in our office , but thought that might be a little extreme. Okay, so maybe I didn't, but you get the idea.And no, I don't think that cheerleading is a sport, UNLESS they compete. But let me just say this, it isn't as easy as it looks.Anyway, she was telling me about her games and practices and I was so sad, because I knew that Eric and I wouldn't be able to watch her cheer, not even practice. After I got off the phone I put on my best 'please-honey-I-will-love-you-forever' expression and asked Eric if we could use our travel money and fly down to see his family in Georgia, and...since we are going to fly down there, we might as well pick a weekend that J is having a home game so we can watch her cheer!! What a great idea, huh? Well, I thought it was and obviously Eric thought so too because he said 'Yes!'So, as of two weeks ago when I got online and bought round trip plane tickets from Branson to Georgia, and as of last night when we put all of our liquids into 3 oz. containers, (which by the way, I discovered you can use just about any 3 oz container as long as you rinse it out well enough from its previous contents)and as of this morning, when I printed off our boarding passes we are officially flying to Georgia.I'll be honest, I am extremely grateful that we are not driving, not that I don't appreciate the 12 hours there plus 12 hours back, but what a relief. And just a side note...this will be the first time that Eric and I have flown together since our honeymoon. I can hardly wait.For real, I love cheerleading. Rah Rah (who says rah rah when the cheer, really?)

This weekend, sadly Eric had to work, but I was able to go to a pumpkin patch with Ryan and Adrian. We went to my Uncle and Aunt's farm in Kansas... www.hickorycreekfarms.com.

We had such a fun time riding in the barrel train and picking pumpkins from their pumpkin patch. C and N had a great time. Everytime the barrel train was about to take off they ran after it and said that they wanted another ride. They ended up riding about 4 times.

They both got to pick their own pumpkins out. I got a great pumpkin the was called a fairy tale pumpkin. It wasn't the usual orange color it was more of a butterscotch color. Really Pretty!!! The only problem now... where to put it in my house?!We all had a great time... The best pumpkin patch ever!!!

Sadly, the day did have to come to an end, but we all enjoyed ourselves immensely.

I ask you: "How many times will you pick me up, when I keep on letting you down?And each time I will fall short of Your glory, how far will forgiveness abound?"And you answer: " My child, I love you.And as long as you'reseeking My face, You'll walk in the pow'rof My daily sufficient grace."
